Kaye was overjoyed about his selection and said: "It’s an honour to represent Team Maccabi GB. I’m the one that should be saying thank you for giving me the opportunity to take part in this phenomenal sporting event.
"I hope others take inspiration that you can achieve whatever you want no matter what disability you have.”
Kaye's positive attitude has been praised by organisations that have been supporting him. Jody Sacks at the Jewish Deaf Association said, “Oliver is a brave, strong and determined young man who following his diagnosis, just before he finished primary school, decided he wouldn’t let anything stand in his way of living life like any other teenager.
"Whether that be going out with friends or playing sport, Oliver was determined to succeed despite being deaf and it definitely made him stronger.
